Chapter 418 - 411. Asserting Priority
Somewhere between Althrea and Neyta, there was an eternal dungeon that belonged to Trinity.
It was an underground terrain with a complex cave system that took Trinity a whole year to map out completely. As if to reward the explorers, the commodities coming out of this dungeon were magic stones; from mana stones to aetherite. As of now, only twenty percent of the dungeon’s terrain had been mined, and by the time they reached the farthest tunnel, the early ones would already regenerate more stones.
Naturally, it was considered as Trinity’s most precious dungeon. What they didn’t know was that the dungeon became precious not only because of the resources it brought but also because of its resilience. The terrain itself was made to absorb magic and vibration, so no matter what they did while mining, there was no fear of the cave system collapsing.
Which means, it was perfect for espers to go wild with their skills.
For this reason, the dungeon had been designated as the training place for the advance troops; the strike squads of [Anzus] and [Hagalaz]. The empty mines that had been excavated were now the home of rumbling sounds, blasting explosions, clanking weapons, and several curses for spice.
Their training was pretty simple; it was everyone against Bassena Vaski. Alternating between Hagalaz and Anzus, they treated the Saint-class as a boss monster--which, to be fair, was an overestimation on the boss’s part. After all, Bassena had already established himself to be stronger than even a black dungeon’s boss.
Lately, however, there has been an addition to the raid party; a prodigy who used to be groomed as Bassena Vaski’s replacement. Naturally, their firepower should be greater, but right now, as Zein watched the ’raid’ from a safe place, it looked chaotic.
"No--don’t go over yet! His children of darkness are still roaming around!"
"I told you to go left! LEFT!"
"I’m trying!"
"Don’t cover my line of sight, goddamnit!"
